Global K-pop sensation NewJeans has reached another extraordinary musical benchmark, further solidifying their formidable presence across the global music industry.
The group’s track “Hurt” has officially surpassed 300 million cumulative streams on Spotify, marking a monumental achievement for the Quintet.
According to data released by Spotify as of August 12, 2026, “Hurt”- a key track from their self-titled debut EP New Jeans-accumulated an exact play count of 300,000,241 streams.
With this major landmark, “Hurt” becomes the tenth individual track in NewJeans’ discography to eclipse the 300 million stream threshold on the streaming platform.
Musically, “Hurt” stands out for its smooth R&B sensibility, blending an infectious, groovy drum rhythm with the members’ soulful, sweet vocal delivery.
The song’s defining feature is its deeply harmonized chorus, which relies on an a cappella style layout to elevate a wistful, tender, and sentimental mood.
Complementing the audio, the track’s music video gained widespread acclaim for its minimalistic, restrained visual direction.
By focusing intently on close-up shots of the members’ faces and natural expressions rather than high-concept storylines or flashy cinematic effects, the video emphasized the track’s gentle emotional tone and highlighted the group’s natural charm.
